Why bother explaining why Sarah Palin isn’t qualified for the job when she does such an over the top job explaining it in her own words.

COURIC: Why isn’t it better, Governor Palin, to spend $700 billion helping middle-class families who are struggling with health care, housing, gas and groceries; allow them to spend more and put more money into the economy instead of helping these big financial institutions that played a role in creating this mess?

PALIN: That’s why I say I, like every American I’m speaking with, were ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the taxpayers looking to bail out. But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the health-care reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping the—it’s got to be all about job creation, too, shoring up our economy and putting it back on the right track. So health-care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we’ve got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, scary thing. But one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we’ve got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

I haven’t seen the playbook myself, but I am betting this is the plan.

McCain will go to Washington and crack a few heads and get a bailout plan going. I think that when he went to the capitol he called in every chit he had and made sure the bill would flounder in the house. The real question is what did he have to promise to get the job done?

I know it’s a conspiracy theory – sounds pretty crazy – we’ll see if it looks plausible in a week.

The flip side it is nice to see the congress growing a little backbone and not rubber stamping every request. Too bad they are playing chicken with the world’s economy.
